Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Had the oportunity to drive a new car recently and compare back to back, but very interested to hear the thoughts of others first, has anyone driven / owned both ? Any comments please as considering an upgrade. Regards Paul
I had a 3.4 996C2 when they first came out. I'm now looking for a 3.6 996 Coupe to fill the gap until the 997 is available, and I currently have a 2003 996 C4 Cab on loan. In my opinion, the 3.6 'facelift' model is much improved. There is no one thing, just a general feeling that the factory have been through it with a fine tooth comb to make it a better car. Certainly the engine note, particularly on start up, is raunchier. Of course this is reflected in prices. Used 3.4s are are better value, most spanning the £30-42k range, whereas 'facelift' cars are in the £42-52k range.
Paul, Oliver and All, In June 2003, I part exchanged my 2001 996 Coupe (3.4 / 320 bhp / Tiptronic) for a 2003 996 Cab (3.6 / 320 bhp / Manual). Main differences: - More torque, - Better sound from the exhaust pipes!!! - Gloves box included The 3.4 was great, the 3.6 is fantastic!!! Last but not least, the 3.6 doesn't look anymore like a Boxster, and with Liptronic Lights the front end is great. By the way, on my Cab I've got the Sport Chassis: money well spent. Hope it'll help. Thanks! Fab
